About
A traveler obsessed with going to increasingly remote locations. Based in Orange County, CA. An engineer in the daytime, and a fur-mom to a (sweet but psycho) rescue dog. I specialize in luxury adventure travel - think safaris, Northern Lights, scuba diving, remote nature lodges, etc.
Travel style
I love a mix of everything to really experience a destination – although who can say no to a unique luxury hotel? My ideal adventure has a mix of luxury and boutique, nature and city, and remote and well-established. I get the feel for a culture through food, whether that be food tours, cooking classes, gourmet restaurants, market visits or street food. Once I fall in love with the idea of a country, I can't stop obsessing until I visit it! I always research my destinations (and yours) extensively to make sure I'm not missing out on anything unique.

Nadia's reviews
Nadia was excellent! She kept us informed from start to finish about our accommodations. Nadia paid close attentions to our personal needs and preferences, and communicated this information to the hotel staff so everything was perfect. Because Nadia booked our room there were many added amenities in our suite, plus free breakfast and a notable hotel credit. I will always contact Nadia for my travel needs and would recommend her with confidence to others.

I’ve heard great things about Nadia and decided to reach out with some questions about my honeymoon and was completely blown away. My husband and I have never flown out of the country and we really wanted to do Italy but had absolutely no idea where to start. Nadia asked me questions to get to know us and our favorite things to do when traveling and planned us the most perfect two week honeymoon. In the middle of planning a wedding it was such a breeze! She talked us through everything step by step and it was the least stressful trip I’ve ever taken. She even planned some of the most amazing excursions; it was truly such a dream. Couldn’t recommend her enough, don't even bother stressing about your next trip she has it covered!!!

Nadia helped me with my honeymoon and it was the absolute best experience, both in working with her and enjoying the fruits of her labor. She made everything so very simple and took all of the stress away, and as it was my husband and I's first international trip, acted as an incredible source of information and advice. I have raved about her to anyone that would listen, and I refuse to plan any trip without her ever again. My honeymoon is my happy place, and that is due largely in part to how absolutely special she made it.

Besst Travel has done some amazing holidays for me over the few years from the Northern lights trip and Maldives in 2023. Nadia again has accommodated my family needs for a quick stay in Manila. Highly recommend the Conrad Manila walking distance to the mall of Asia and the hotel itself fantastic.The staff at the Conrad are extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet is one of the best I have eaten. Can’t wait to stay at the Conrad again in future. Plus for Besst travel to organise all my holidays with her 5 star service.
